Food allergies affect millions of individuals across the United States and worldwide. Peanut allergies are among the most severe food allergies because of their potentially life-threatening symptoms and lifelong persistence. Potent peanut allergen, Ara h 2, is known to contain an amino acid motif containing the posttranslational modification, hydroxyproline (HyP). HyP is associated with immunogenic response when present both in Ara h 2 and in timothy grass pollen allergen, Phl p 1. To further explore the presence of HyP in higher plants and specifically to investigate its potential presence in commonly allergenic plants, a study of 26 plant seeds was …

The global food market needs to grow and supply food demand to feed the growing world population. Alternative food proteins, including novel sources of safe foods and ingredients, are the candidates that could provide more environmentally sustainable choices, animal welfare, and consumers health. Novel foods and food proteins must undergo premarket safety evaluations including allergenicity assessment to reduce the risk of cross-reactivity with known allergens and uncharacterized risk to food allergic individuals. This research addressed the safety assessment of some novel foods and food ingredients using the study of stability of proteins in pepsin and sequence identity analysis in the …
